Driver dies after crashing into wall

TRAFFIC police are investigating the manner in which a car was being driven in the moments before it smashed into a wall in a village near Doncaster.

A man died in the collision which happened on Wakefield Road, Hampole, in daylight, with no other vehicles involved.

Emergency services were called to the A638 after a blue Vauxhall Corsa travelling from Doncaster towards Pontefract was reported to have crashed at just after 10am on Sunday.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said yesterday: “At the left hand bend after Leys Lane, near Hampole, it is believed the car lost control and collided with a stone wall, rebounding back and coming to rest in the road.
